SMOKY PARK 1^5 Brevard Concern Sells Much Meal Big Demand For Transyl vania Products Seen Five hundred bushels of corn meal per week is the average out put of the B. and B. Feed com pany, a checkup discloses. This firm supplies local and outside trade with their Transylvania county product, several hundred bushels each week going- to su]j- ply the Greenville and other near by South Carolina markets. All corn used by the B. and B. production of their meal is boug’ht from the farmers of Tran sylvania county, Willis Brittain, head of the local concern states, while a market is also provided for all the eggs and chickens that can be procured here. Mr. Brittain asserts that his firm could easily use three to four times the eggs produced in this county, a steady demand for Tran sylvania produced eggs and poul try having been made in South Carolina. People to the south are particularly partial to Transyl vania grown products, the local dealer says, the only drawback }in.g the fact that the county is unable under the present methods of production to produce suffi cient uantity to take care of the increasing demand. Commissioners In Meet Here Friday Several matters of routine na ture were acted upon by the coun ty commissioners in their meeting at the court house last Saturday, among- which was the passing of several bills and a change in the school budget as passed several weeks ago.' The change in no way affects the rate of $1.64 as . set previously. Presentation of a proposition to the commissioners by a representa tive of a large bond dealing com pany in connection with refinanc ing the county’s indebtedne.ss was turned down by the commission ers who felt that the proposition as offered was an extra expense to the county and no direct re sults to be.seen from entering in to the contract. Margaret and Martha Whitmire, first year pupils in Rosman schools, are the attractive twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Whitmire, of Cherryfield. Playmates, teacher, and even at times the parents are unable to say which is Margaret (left) and which is Martha (right). Same height, weight, and dressed alike, they are-a pair of sunshine carriers who make friends wherever they go. (Cut courtesy Asheville Citizen-Times.)

FAILURE COST HIGH IN LOCAL SCHOOL OUTLAY Startling figures were reveal ed by Bupt. J. B. Jones Morfday afternoon at the meeting of the Parent-Teacher association, when, in discussion of the topic, “Cost of failures in school,” he stated that it costs Transylvania §11,- 000 a year to take care of the failures of children in the schools of the county. “It costs entirely too much money,” Supt. Jones said, “to let children fail in their studies.” Clear and comprehensive dis cussions of the general subject, “Failur the' first meeting of the school year of the Parent-Teach er association held Monda.y after noon in the elementary school auditorium. Leaders in the dis cussions were Miss Sarah Keels, of the high school faculty, Mrs. L. B. Haynes, and Supt. Jones. Miss Keel’s discussion, dealing* with probable causes of failures in school, included elaboration of a number of vital causes, such as poor attendance, indefinite as signment of lessons, social diver sions as parties, movies and ath letics, improper home conditions for study, improper attitude of teachers, parents and pupils, overcrowded class rooms, lack of concentration and other reasons for failures. Mrs. Haynes followed with dis cussion of the general subject, giving suggestive remedies for failures. She pointed out that the fundamental remedy was to be found in the home, where par ents show the proper attitude and interest in their children’s activities, make chums of their children and encourage them in their studies and other intersets and duties. Other remedies were suggestd, such as limit their time spent in amusements in the home and otherwise, sympathetic attitude of parents towards chil dren and parents’ willingness to change with the times, co-opera tion of parents with teachers and other remedies of more or less importance. The meeting was presided over by the president ,Mrs. S. P. Ver- ner, who told of some of the summer activities of the organi- zation, showing that the asso;ia- representatives of Bun- tion was by no means dead dur-|„^_v.r. n„ii ing the summer vacation even W. D. Glazener, genial carrier on route two, has in his possession several rare coins, one of which, has some interesting* his tory connected with it. A fifty-eent piece owned by School,” featured Mr. Glazener is 99 years old, hav ing been coined in 1833, while a two-cent piece is over a liundred years, old, bearing the stamp of 1817. Included in his collection is a counterfeit dollar that caused a man from this county to spend ten years in the federal peniten tiary, ’way back in the bygone days. Gus Aiken, of the Cherry- the story . goes. field section, ■was a United States revenue offi cer, and had been trying to find out the source of spurious silver dollars in circulation in this sec tion of the state. After he had all but given up hope of catching the culprit, a stranger, who had been seen in the community but few times, had the bad luck of trying to pass one of his homemade dol lars on Mr. Aiken. Ten years was the verdict, and counterfeiting- ceased. CLASS OFFICERS ROSMAN, Sept. 21.—Class of ficers elected by the ninth grade of Rosman high school include: President, Charlie W.

CPEOPLE Florida Editor Sees This Section In Early Bus iness Revival REAL estate"WILL BE IN BIG DEMAND People Will Come Here To Spend Their Money— Nothing Leave “People of this section have a gold mine at their door in the Great Smoky Mountains National park, which will bring millionrs of people to Western North Caro lina,” said Col. J. C. Sellers, edi torial writer of The Florida Times-Union in address before the regional council of the 5-10 farm plan held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bates Patton last Friday. “The park is the greatest as set .that Western North Carolina ould possibly have,” Col. Sellers asserted, “in that out of the mil lions of people who will come here from year to year from all sec tions of the country, many will want to stay in this beautiful sec tion of yours; they will rent hous es, buy homes and farms, estab lish group colonies, pay taxes and buy products of the land. “None of them will take any thing away from Western North; Carolina. Instead they will leave . their money with your business men, with your farmers, poultry and stockraisers. All of them will have money to spend—they will have to spend it. and it is up to the people of this section to cap italize on this great influx of people.” Col. Sellers, -who is a member of the executive council of the southeast conference, and an ac tive participant in agricultural promotion of his native state, praised the work of The Asheville Citizen and The Asheville Times in sponsoring the .5-10 year plan here, and expressed the opinion that out of the movement which is gaining headway in Western Car-; olina would eventually grow the basic structure for agricultural in dependence of the entire south east. “It is men like Bruce Webb, and other leaders in the various counties of this section who are providing the necessary leadership which will bring agriculture to its rightful place in the business world,” the speaker declared. Col. Sellers was deeply im pressed with the purebred pig- club that is being carried on in this county, and spoke highly of the cooperation business interests of the county had given Prof. Jul ian Glazener and his vocational agriculture students in this move ment to introduce better livestock into Transylvania. Col, Sellers is an honorary member of the Fu ture Farmers of America, having been given this distinction in Florida where he is a great factor in the work. He and Mrs. Sellers both ex-, pressed themselves as being de lighted with Transylvania county, and promised to spend several weeks here next summer while on their annual vacation.
